Anyone have one of Verizon’s tri-modes? I’m thinking about getting one.

They currently have four of them:  
LG 5200 & 6100  
Kyocera KX1V  
Motorola 276

I can never get service at most of the rallies. I’m guessing this would be the best bet, without going to a Sat phone.

TIA - Jon

Jon, my moto v710 was tri-mode. It was no better than my e815 (that I have noticed, anyway).
